NOVI LUDO

The game and its variations are popular in many countries and under various names.
Pachisi was created in India in the 6th century. The earliest evidence of this game evolution in India is the depiction of boards on the caves of Ellora. The original version is also described in Mahabharata, where Draupadi was put on stake by Pandavas. It was also known as "Chopad". The contemporary version was played by the Mughal emperors of India.
Special areas of the Ludo board are typically coloured bright yellow, green, red, and blue. Each player is assigned a colour and has four tokens in their colour. The board is normally square with a cross-shaped playspace, with each arm of the cross having three columns of squares, usually six per column. The middle columns usually have five squares coloured; these represent a player's home column. A sixth coloured square not on the home column is a player's starting square. At the centre of the board is a large finishing square, often composed of coloured triangles atop the players' home columns (thus depicting "arrows" pointing to the finish).
Each player rolls the die, the highest roller begins the game. Players alternate turns in a clockwise direction.

To enter a token into play from its yard to its starting square, a player must roll a 6.
